Kobe Trip Part 10: Rainy Evening Snaps

I traveled to Kobe in early March. In Kobe, major tourist spots such as bay area, Kitano Ijinkan-gai and Chinatown were concentrated, which was convenient for tourists. In this article, I will write about evening scene around Chinatown and Old Foreign Settlement as part of Day 3.

Daimaru (大丸) department store looked differently, when I saw it from other angles.

There was a corridor around the building.

It had a retro atmosphere.

Daimaru (大丸) department store in Kobe is sometimes referred to as the most beautiful department store in Japan and I agree with this.

Buildings around Daimaru (大丸) department store were also part of “Kobe Former Foreign Settlement (旧居留地)”.

There were a variety of luxury brand shops.

This intersection was the most impressive, so I took many photos with various angles.

Finally, I took a photo of the entrance of “Kobe Motomachi Shopping Street (神戸元町商店街)” again and I left Motomachi (元町) and “Kobe Former Foreign Settlement (旧居留地)”.

Sannomiya (三宮)

I returned to Sannomiya (三宮) where I have been staying. Along this “Ikuta Road”, there were lots of Kobe beef steak restaurants including “Mouriya”, which I visited on the previous day (see the related article).

Around Sannomiya station.

I stopped by “Nishimura’s Coffee” for a rest.

I had a parfait.

Then, I returned to the hotel and the third day of my Kobe trip was over.

That’s it for the article about evening scene around Chinatown and Old Foreign Settlement as part of Day 3.

The third day of my Kobe trip resulted in a rainy day, which I did’t hope, but I found it was OK in the end. In particular, evening scenes in Chinatown (南京町) and “Kobe Former Foreign Settlement (旧居留地)” became more fantastic thanks to the rain and I was able to take dreamy photos 🙂

In the next article, I will write about Himeji Castle as part of Day 4.

Hi my name is kosu, a Japanese. I am writing a travel photo blog using SONY’s α7 III. Through my experience of living abroad, I have rediscovered goodness in Japan and traveled all over Japan to look for beautiful Japanese scenery (- though I sometimes travel oversees as well ☺). Recently, Mican, a local mascot character (“Yuru-chara”) in Ehime Prefecture, is my favorite. I would appreciate it if you could have interest in visiting Japan though my blog.
